million that have been impacted. it also includes airbag aflator's that do not have desiccant. that is what reduces the moisture and it started off with 12 manufacturers including honda, toyota, and fear chrysler. 17 manufacturers including the likes of tesla and land rover. satisfiedd it is not with recall rates. takata's recall of its inflators in a band-aid approach. they replace some and then some more and more. eventually all will have to be recalled. yvonne: all inflator's have to be replaced before the turn six years old which is when the risk of rupture increases. it was having a tough time catching up.

there is a lot of business to get out of the way as well. the chief executive is stepping down. he says it is a challenging time for the company. >> there is no doubt in my mind that the year ahead will be a tough one for the industry and for rio tinto. as market conditions are tough as i have seen them in recent years. there is no doubt it will take a lot of commitment and drive to find new ways of making our business even better and even stronger. i know that rio tinto has a chief executive to be in john sebastian and a world-class team to do exactly that. tinto everyt rio success. paul: he was very and closely -- very closely involved in the project so another reason to

expect the decision is probably imminent. rishaad: thanks. sydney force there. let's have a look at some of the other stories we we're watching. heidi is starting off with a look at one car company that wants to increase production by 500% in two years. we saw shares gaining in extended training -- trading. they reported a quarterly loss that was less than expected. first-quarter loss came in at $.57 a share. the -- they are on track to deliver 80 to 90,000 new vehicles and aiming to ramp up production five fold over the next two years. this comes as two of its top production cheeks are leaving the company.

havead: global equities rebounded 11% since the february lows. should investors be chasing this because as of late we have seen a change of heart. but it to -- let's get to singapore steve. is it really a case of the moment, sell in may and go away? some: certainly we expect sort of volatility. the exact timing of weakness is always difficult to predict as is the magnitude. a couple of months ago we were saying equities were oversold and likely to bounce but we

would be lightening up our equity exposure into that rally. the investment committee met last weekend reaffirmed that view saying we have come around 15% from the lows as you mentioned. he for now, 11%. this is a good idea to lighten up now ahead of volatility and weakness that we expect over the summer months. rishaad: yes, why? steve: if you look at the fundamentals they are still pretty fragile. caused the at what and thetabilization china stimulus. you see loose or financial conditions in the u.s. and a weaker u.s. dollar. you see the commodity [indiscernible] and they are interrelated. when you step back and say this is a short-term fundamental improvement do we extrapolate that over coming three to six

months and our view is generally no. financial conditions need to tighten and the economy seems to be doing reasonably well. orders and employment rebounding strongly. that is in line there. so the fed we believe is tightening policy. we have concerns in europe. the brexit is of concern and things like grexit and the spanish elections and the final point coming to this part of the world, we really need to watch the chinese renminbi. dollar renminbi has been falling. if the dollar does firm up that will be harder to manage for them so that could be a source of volatility as well. rishaad: the language of the fed is as you said in your research notes is becoming more balanced and as we head toward june i suppose we will be choppy then and the cause of this brexit debate and that is taking its toll there. dollarime that the

strengthens a bit and what are the indications? a good question. we met again yesterday to discuss the outlook for the dollar because we have seen it near test case support, the dollar index sitting on key support. the euro testing key resistance. the aussie keeping the low-key support recently. it is fitting into this picture saying are we going to see a batch from here? our central scenario remains that yes, we probably will see it stabilize but the next week or two it will be critical for the outlook for the dollar and also for risk appetite because of the dollar does breakthrough that support that might extend the risk appetite for global equities for a while longer. the chickens will come home to roost create -- roost. least, youe data at just use data as a guide more

than anything else is showing signs of stability now. are we over the worst and how does that fit into your investment strategy? steve: this is part of the strongest stimulus we have seen since 2008-2009 for china so we should not underestimate the power that that can have we are starting to see signs that chinese authorities are looking to backtrack on that stimulus. we should always remember the authorities's number one priority is to deleverage the economy. and against that backdrop what we are seeing is going back to the old style deflationary policies over the past three or four months. we do not think that is sustainable from a policy and government perspective. that means that yes, the worst maybe kindness temporarily and that could extend another one or two months but ultimately we think china is in a structural deceleration trend from a growth perspective and markets need to factor than an. mindad: with all that in

the imf is talking about its concerns when it comes to debt and emerging markets and in particular is it something that you have been flagging to clients or something that some of these credit risk insurers have also been doing? steve: absolutely. if you look at the local bond market that has been a major new story in china in recent times. the way we look at it we do not think chinese bonds are that attractive given the currency risk involved. what is interesting is this has not played out in international markets and you'll get asian corporate credit markets, they have been relatively resilient. to the concerns in china. the way we look at this is if you look historically at the returns and risk of volatility and investment grade credit that would suggest you would be liking this sector but given the risks in china and the

concentration of china and these indices we are seeing it is ok until it is not and you do not know when the positive sentiment is going to change but for us it at this stage to be recommending that strongly to clients. within corporate credit we still have a preference for u.s. investment grade bonds, corporate bonds because we like the spread involved, we like the yield and in a risk off environment they should be relatively well protected. thanks for that. steve brice at standard chartered. >> john kasich has suspended his presidential campaign, preventing donald trump's place candidate. he faces a challenge of persuading a bitterly divided party tonight behind him. many senior applicant and donors have said they will not support trump. immigrants,women,

nonmanufacturing. it is at 51.8 for the pmi. rishaad: thank you. kong. in hong francis, thank you for joining us. tell me something, what steve has just been breaking, nonmanufacturing data. what is your take? guest: it is worrisome, we downgraded the market recently on these numbers. .he official pmi also weekend there is something wrong, you gave up so much credit at the end of the first quarter met that you should have strong results. rishaad: the lagging effect with that. guest: yes and no, these are basically surveys. is the business getting better? thant is a slightly worse last month. rishaad: you have to look at the outlet in particular. what they are looking at three

but ifere new orders this is not going to new orders, where is the credit going? financing, liquidity, which companies would reflect of the bad situation we are talking about. rishaad: and this is how it goes. in your research, when we look at banks, people are saying, it is not as bad as all that. you are saying that that does not reflect what is going on. and we ask the question, when is a nonperforming loan or a bad one, actually about -- a bad loan? guest: we are a little more lax when recognizing npl. the number should be quite higher. very simply, you add in npl and they are at 5% already. standards are being complicated now. they are moving toward western

standards and the numbers should be higher. thatad: you are suggesting it is not 1.6, but closer to 70%. -- 17%. that is a huge difference. guest: it is really bottom up. we look at all the companies and look at if they recovered interest. what that tells you, if you cannot pay interest, you are in bad debt. whether you recognize it or not. the market will recognize it very fast. rishaad: one reason they are there is a good the lack of reform from the government and enterprises. there are some signs of that changing, is there not? guest: very slow, because the economy is difficult this year. it slowed down a lot of reforms. financial reforms, they are pushing ahead, but generally they have slow down -- slowed it down. rishaad: and job losses, that is the fear. that is what chinese authorities are dealing with with the

more pressure on the mpl's. rishaad: and where does -- the in all this? guest: i think there will be downward pressure. mainly because of the cash flow. they will close a lot of loopholes. rishaad: essentially a slowing period for how long? a year or two? guest: i think it we do not deal with this up front, we will have lower growth. it will be difficult to do. rishaad: thank you, francis. iphone, the leather collection. not quite what you may think. more on apples latest trade market in china. -- trade battle in china. ♪
